Episode 82
🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...
Brian: Have you seen this item in the parish newsletter, Jenny?
Jennifer: What is it now, Brian ? I’m busy stuffing this hedgehog.
Brian: I don’t think you’ll be too busy to hear this. Apparently this month’s WI meeting organised by your mother has had to be moved to The Bull due to popular demand. What on Earth can that mean ?
Jennifer: Now is this its neck or its bottom ?
Brian: I beg your pardon ?
Jennifer: Really, Brian, I have no idea what’s going on at this meeting - perhaps someone’s got a new recipe for lemon drizzle cake. It’s usually cake that gets them all excited. Or jam.
Brian: I don’t think it can be that. Alice says she is going along because ‘Gran has suddenly got really sick’. I thought Peggy must be ill but Alice said it wasn’t that kind of sick, whatever that means.
Jennifer: I don’t listen to a word Alice says these days, she’s so often the worse for drink. She thinks she has inherited your liver but she clearly cannot hold it like you.
Brian: More like Lilian’s liver. Anyway, what is keeping you so busy ?
Jennifer: I’ve got appointments to make. I think it’s time I started doing things for myself. Those weeks with Jo made me realise that I need to value myself and not think so much about others.
Brian: Steady on, old girl, that sounds like Kate’s spiritual mumbo jumbo. I hope this doesn’t mean you will stop cooking supper.
Jennifer: Well, we will have to see, won’t we ?
Brian: What kind of things are you thinking of ? Learning a language, cookery lessons?
Jennifer: How dare you suggest I need cookery lessons after all the game pies and venison sausages I’ve made over the years ?
Brian: You just proved my point.
Jennifer: Actually, I am going to have Botox, some fillers and my hair is going to change as well.
Brian: Seems a lot of effort, darling, when I love you just as you are.
Jennifer: Don’t be so smug, Brian, Jo has invited me round for a glass of sherry and a cheroot so I want to look my best.
Brian: But I thought she ran off with your best handbags when she was evicted from Home Farm ?
Jennifer: Exactly. And I want them back.
(slight pause)
Brian: What was that about a hedgehog ?
